Medial elbow pain

[摘要] Medial elbow pain is not very common in the general population. Medial epicondylitis (ME) has shown a prevalence of < 1% and has been calculated to be one-third as frequent as lateral epicondylitis.1 Certain groups of the population are at an increased risk of suffering from this condition, including carpenters, plumbers and ‘overhead’ athletes. Work-related problems generally involve repetitive movement, including a combination of pronation of the forearm and wrist flexion.
